"But it is no secret that the best and the brightest throughout the world have in their mind's eye the beacon which we are for those who want to be bound by our exceptional rules. And it's Reason No. 1 why we will continue to prosper and predominate. Our continual renewal through immigration of the rest of the world's intellectual cream is the secret, Mq., a secret I am loathe to reveal."

Well said and i would add, this cream does not exclude any racial, religious or national group. These folks may disagree on policy matters, but they all agree on working toward a better life for their children. mike

I don't think Americans want to be revered. I think we are irreverent, and expect irreverence.

I think we think we are lucky because our way of doing things works for us, and we think it would work for others if only they'd try it.
